Is it necessary to measure the flow rates of the flare gas and pilot gas, as well as the temperature of the flare tip and the pilot flame, for a flare?

Environmental experts invited by the Zibo Environmental Protection Bureau to inspect environmental issues mentioned that, in accordance with clause 5.4.6 of the \"Emission Standards for Pollutants from the Petrochemical Industry,\" torch systems should be monitored and recorded to track the flow rates of torch gas and pilot gas, as well as the temperature of the torch tip and the pilot light. Our overhead torches only have flame gas flow monitoring and infrared flame monitoring (no temperature readings). Question: 1. Is it necessary to test these four parameters? 2. If monitoring is required, can a single temperature probe be used to measure both the torch tip temperature and the flame temperature? The temperature measured when no emission is occurring is the temperature of the spark, while the temperature measured when emission is occurring is the flame temperature at the tip of the torch.

In accordance with the requirements of GB31571-2015 \"Emission Standards for Pollutants in the Petrochemical Industry\", it is indeed necessary to measure the flow rates of flare gas and pilot gas, as well as the temperature of the flare tip and the pilot flame.

No, a separate test is required; an additional thermocouple is needed for that
